Ernest Hemingway once said, 'If you were to visit just one city in Spain, it should be Granada.' Indeed, it’s undeniable — this city has a lot to offer and should not be missed. Above all, the city’s main attraction to visit is the Alhambra of Granada, an ancient royal palace and fortress complex that was built for the Nasrid Dynasty. With this official guided tour, you’ll get to skip the line and see the most incredible parts of this Andalusian architectural gem, including the Nasrid Palaces, the Court of the Lions, and Generalife, with a local expert guide.

The Alhambra is not only a beautiful monument overlooking the city — it’s also full of history and was once the medieval residence of the kings of Granada. Discover all the stories this amazing place has to offer from your knowledgeable guide. One of our guides, Juan, is an official licensed tour guide and his family has resided in Granada for generations. He says, 'The Alhambra serves as a prime example of the influence the Moors had. Amazingly, their impact on the culture, language, music, and architecture of southern Spain still remains to this very day.'

During your guided tour, you’ll get the chance to venture through Generalife, the summer palace and gardens of the Nasrid kings, as well as the oldest part of the Alhambra — the Alcazaba. Don’t miss visiting the Nasrid Palaces and the Court of the Lions, where you will learn about Islamic architecture and culture. With a smile on his face, Juan comments, 'It doesn’t surprise me that many visitors come to Granada just to see the Alhambra. This spectacular complex is the best-preserved palace and citadel from Spain’s Islamic period.' He continues, 'I always enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping my guests gain a different perspective of this magnificent historical monument.'
